I can't cash mine, and the money is lost. I filed jointly, and the check names two payees, who are now 1,000 miles apart. Banks refuse to even accept them for deposit, unless it is to a joint account in both payees' names or they both come in together and endorse in the presence of the bank teller. This is how the government will pay for the war---by sending out millions of checks that cannot be cashed because of moronic and paranoid Patriot Act restrictions on banks.

Luckily, I have an account in a bank where the other payee lives, so I can maill it, and have the other payee take it to my bank for deposit into my account. I hope. Wish me luck.

Why the Roman Empire fell: People figured out ways to cash government checks. America is being more careful.
